Exercise 35 - Going Home

I am going home - m pral ale lakay mwen (You'll most often hear: m pral lakay mwen)
you are going home -ou prale lakay ou
he, she it is going home - li pral lakay li
we are going home - nou pral lakay nou
they are going home - yo pral la kay yo.
_________________________________

First and foremost, see how I've contracted  pral ale all the way down to pral.
So, pral ale, prale, and pral all mean the same thing.

Pral = auxillary that indicates future tense
ale = verb to go
Pral + ale = prale or pral

More examples:
Alex is going home- Alex pral lakay li.

Rachel went home - Rachel te ale lakay li

Zoey and Zack went home - Zoey e Zack te ale lakay yo

Let's go home - An nou ale lakay nou.

Stay home tonight - Rete lakay ou aswè a.

Come home today - Vini lakay ou jodi a.
